The Fort Hays University Farm is giving hands-on experience to students through livestock and agriculture training throughout the semester. Its management and staff provide basics on caring for and treating animals across the 3,825-acre farm while preparing them for their entry into the agriculture workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

University Farm manager Mark Weve implements this training by incorporating the practical aspects of farm work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a fully functioning farm,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of these kids come off farms, so they\u2019re familiar with what goes on. Some aren\u2019t, but as they come in, they learn the feeding process we do each morning [things] like taking care of the cattle, sheep and pigs. We\u2019ll put together a plan, whether it\u2019s feeding them hay or grain, so they know how many buckets to give.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
